Heart Institute

Electrophysiology and Pacing

About the Speciality

The Electrophysiology and Pacing Division of Medanta Heart Institute has been set up to help patients who suffer from the problem of irregular beating of the heart (arrhythmias), including atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and ventricular tachycardia. Our dedicated Electrophysiology team is experienced in all kinds of Electrophysiology studies, Radiofrequency Ablations, Pacemaker and Device Implantations and Resynchronization Therapy. Three dimensional cardiac mapping using Carto Technique and myocardial scar identification by NOGA enable our electrophysiologists to perform the complicated RF ablations with ease.

Utilize latest technology

  • 256 Slice CT

    A 256 slice CT scan enables cardiologists to get a 3-D image of the entire heart which permits them to have a closer look at the arteries, and the anatomy of the heart, in general. The scan offers excellent details that helps the doctors in treating the disease more effectively.

  • Gamma Camera

    Gamma camera is a type of imaging technique which is used to carry out functional scans of various parts of the body including the brain, lungs, and the heart, among others. A gamma camera images the radiations and this technique is known as Scintigraphy.

Avail advanced treatment and procedures

  • A cardiac electrophysiology study (EP test or EP study)

    Cardioversion is a way of restoring the regular rhythm of the heart when it starts to beat too fast or in an irregular manner. There are two types of cardioversions – pharmacological, where medicines are used to restore the rhythm, and, electrical, where electric shocks are sent to the heart until the normal rhythm is restored.

  • RF Ablation

    Radiofrequency ablation is a treatment that uses radiofrequency energy to destroy a small area of heart tissue that is causing irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias). This treatment is advised by your doctor when medicines are not tolerated or are ineffective. The procedure is most often used to treat a condition called Supraventricular Tachycardia (SVT) which occurs because of abnormal conduction fibers in the heart.

  • ICD (Implantable Cardioverter Defribrillator)

    ICD’s is a battery powered device placed under the skin that keeps track of your heart rate. If an abnormal heart rhythm is detected, the device will deliver an electric shock to restore a normal heartbeat. Your doctor may recommend an ICD if you are suffering from LQTS, Brugada Syndrome, Ventricular Arrhythmia and Cardiac arrest.

  • Cardioversion

    Cardioversion is a way of restoring the regular rhythm of the heart by providing electric shocks to your heart through electrodes placed on your chest. . There are two types of cardioversions – pharmacological, where medicines are used to restore the rhythm, and, electrical, where electric shocks are sent to the heart until the normal rhythm is restored. It is used to treat atrial fibrillation, atrial flutter and other kinds of arrhythmias.

  • Pacemaker Implantation

    It is a small battery-operated device that helps the heart beat in a regular rhythm. It produces the electrical impulses that stimulate your heart to beat. A pacemaker may be recommended to ensure that the heartbeat does not slow to a dangerously low rate. There are different types of pacemakers -:

     

    • Single chamber
    • Double chamber
    • Biventricular – Also known as Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is used to treat the delay in heart ventricle contractions that occur in some people with advanced heart failure

Why choose Medanta?

Our Heart Institute is one of the few institutes to follow the Heart Team approach. At Medanta, patients for cardiac disease are evaluated collectively by a team of interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, and clinical and preventive cardiologists. They work together so that the patient receives the benefit of comprehensive advice with high technical and ethical standards. Our aim is to contain the progression of the heart disease while empowering the recovering patient through innovative therapies.
